General Notes: Husband - William Boyd


He remained on the home farm till eighteen years old, when he went to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and learned the molder's trade. With two partners he started a foundry at Johnstown in 1836, and continued to operate it nine years. He came to Wilkinsburg in 1845, and dealt in cattle and stock fourteen years; bought a farm in Indiana township, which he cultivated till 1873, when he returned to Wilkinsburg, and was there extensively interested in real estate. He and his family were connected with the Covenanters' Church, of which his parents were members. Mr. Boyd was an active democrat, and came within a few votes of being made burgess in 1888, although the borough was overwhelmingly republican.
